I always liked the KINKs and was listening to them back in 60s along with the Beatles Beach Boys and Rolling Stones. Funny thing is that when one of my younger Car pool people heard this song on the Radio she did not quite understand the lyrics. I had to explain them to her, then she busted out laughing.
I raise my glass & drink a toast to Christy Storm, Dana Douglas, Leilani, Gia Darling, RuPaul, DETOX, especially 2 U WILLIAM, Christine Jorgenson and all you other lovely ladies that I missed...💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Sure !! But don't you forget T.Rex with Bang a Gong , Bachman & Turner with Roll on Down The Highway , JJ Cale with After Midnight ( more blues rock ) , and so on .....
Interesting fact: The BBC banned the song for its product placement of "Coca-cola" so they rerecorded a version with "cherry cola" for the UK single. In this performance, the whole song is lip synced except for the first verse so he can sing "cherry cola". I do not know why they wouldn't just use the UK Single in studio tho lol.
Originally, the lyric was "Coca Cola", not "cherry cola". But the Coke company objected to their name used in this song about transvestites and homosexuality. How different it is today, where large corporations celebrate and promote "diversity".
seriously. Sabbath was already on their second album by 70 and, as great as this song is, it ain't War Pigs or NIB. If anything it seems more like it's paving the way for punk to get it's loud and sloppy signature
What he probaby was referring to was that Dave actually did create the modern day distortion by ripping the cone in his amp with a razor blade to create the "distortion" heard on You really got me
I love the kinks too first concert I went two in 6th grade now I am 56 jammed but you right every rock roller should know who created heavy metal? Come on!
Mr. Boomer, I believe you are projecting. It's your crowd that's currently getting triggered and trying to ban anything and everything that references drag queens and trans people. This song is part of our history... if this song gets banned, it will be because of Trump, DeSantis, or some other right wing nutjob.
why would they ban a song that ultimately comes to the conclusion of loving and accepting who your partner is? The only people who would ban this would be conservatives who think it would indoctrinate their kids by listening to a 50 year old song.
More MUSIC like this is needed.
you mean taylor swift doesnt do it for you
@@user-jn1ew8rs8r 🤣🤣🤣
I saw the Kinks at St. Anselm College, Manchester, NH in 1984.
Way ahead of their time. Great tune,
Amazing music. The harmonies and backing bass/drums amazing, Ahead of their time. Great song..
Ahead of their time because they harmonized? Really? Haven't listened to much music, have you. Simon and Garfunkel, for instance.
Great harmonies with these two brothers
fantastic group, Ray is a genius
I love this musical arrangement…This song remains in my head all the time…The Lola video is especially intriguing.
I new every word to this song at 16 years old. I loved the kinks. And many other great bands.
Never gets old.
The rock solid, steady backbeat of Mick Avory. Unparallelled
Ray Davies has the perfect mouth to play joker,one the greatest tracks ever
One of the few perfect songs ever made
Yup, Victoria is another
@@paulzager9381"Till the End of The Day" also!
I love this song! Always have & Always will. I raise a glass to all CD's, TS', TV's & Sissie Boys everywhere💋👄🍒❤💜

2024 ❤

Best Album of the Kinks, after the "You Really Got Me".
Love the drummers face in that scene. can't tell if he is disinterested or digging it.
I was 87 years old when this song was released.... Still enjoy it.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Uh-huh. Right.
@@dougamundson6836 You might want to do some research before you embarrass yourself again.
So that makes you about 140 now. Congratulations
The attention to detail suggests this is drawn from experience.
Lola, Stairway to Heaven, Sympathy for the Devil, Freebird and Bohemian Rhapsody were probably the greatest rock n roll song ever written.
Sure !! But don't you forget T.Rex with Bang a Gong , Bachman & Turner with Roll on Down The Highway , JJ Cale with After Midnight ( more blues rock ) , and so on .....
Some of.....c'mon. Thats a very short list that has no Pete Townshend on it??
FAB :)
I think Lola may have been Andy Kaufman in drag, the dates add up?
lol imagine if they could see 50 years into the future
I’m such an idiot. I love the kinks and been hearing this song for year and never realized it was them. How am I just putting this together now ?
💚right on guys .. dig it !
I do 💚

Coca-Cola demanded they change it not the BBC.
Very daring for the time period
The bass player is badass!
Always wondered, was that sound a banjo or dobro? Now i know! ❤
LOLA
The original version by the originals! Too Right!!
The magnificent guason
Rock on bros
Bernd. Foltin❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke ❤für
Enjoying this song in 2024 despite the politically shitty climate.
"LOLA" by The Kinks should & "Take A Walk On The Wild Side" by Lou Reed should be the two adoptive songs for the LGBTQ Organization 💋👄🍒❤💜
I like this song 👍👍👍👍 2:22 2:26

I kinda want a Coca Cola after watching this
Seems the bass player is producing way less notes than he appears to be playing!
I love the Kinks, but please, don't inform lies. They didn't create heavy Metal. You really Got me , come on. Not even similar to Heavy Metal.
Totally agree, the real pioneers were Sabbath, zepplin and deep purple in the late 60's. I really fucking love this song though.
seriously. Sabbath was already on their second album by 70 and, as great as this song is, it ain't War Pigs or NIB. If anything it seems more like it's paving the way for punk to get it's loud and sloppy signature

Metal is lame anyway the kinks were more punk
Who knew that shit was going on back then
I'm just surprised that the woke police haven't banned this classic 🤐🤐🤐🤐
We're surprised you can breath without assistance!
They made it as a joke then.
Anybody laughing today?
It wasn't written as a joke by nearly every account I've read
Wasn’t a joke at all.
Great music, but Invented metal is childish silliness
Top of the Pops, maybe....but that drummer is at the bottom of the barrell.....tripping out on something.....
Lip-syncing... Lame
I liked this song, but I didn't get stupid about it. It wasn't THAT good.
Wow, i am surprised the rainbow crowd have not got this banned yet,"wait".

Are you offended☹️
